I was thinking exactly this. They get all kinds of perks at McKinsey, I just get dumped on by everyone. We don’t get retirement benefits, travel expenses, anything that is standard in corporate America and we have essentially no freedom to switch teams or move between specialties etc. like they do in the corporate world. Not to mention their salaries go up dramatically in 1-2 years of training. They would easily be making 5x what we make in a few years.
Not that they have it great, but I just have difficulty feeling too much empathy.
Ok, I’m going to go back to trying not to kill anyone today.
- chromatin 5y agoUS medical resident training is exploitative. At least the duty hours and overt toxicity is massively improved compared to even 15 years ago. Do surgery residents still have to lie to ACGME about hours these days? Hope that is better.
- et2o 5y agoAbsolutely still have to lie about hours. Still feels pretty toxic today. Hard to believe it was even worse 15 years ago.
